The best pastry shops Amsterdam

In a modern and bright setting, Kuyt is an exceptional address with an exemplary reputation. This shop was elected pastry shop of the year in 2006 and its apple pie is regularly at the top of the local and national rankings. The hardest part will be to make a choice, as there are so many temptations, the macaroons and the cheesecakeare really unforgettable. Even worse, in addition to the demonic pastries, the address offers a chocolate to fall. It's impossible to resist the temptation. In summer, Kuyt titillates our taste buds even more with its homemade ice cream.

Another city classic, this address has long delighted generations of Amstellodammers with its excellent pastries! People flock to the tiny, charming store to order pastries, chocolates and cookies. The service is very professional. The sweet classic is the cheesecake topped with strawberry jam, and the classic, shall we say, savory legend is the shrimp croquette. We also love their delicious homemade ice creams. You can also buy their famous chocolates in the shape of Amsterdam houses.

An address not to be missed if you're in search of delicious sweets. Waldo has the means to make you succumb, offering a variety of brownies, blondies (white chocolate), cheesecakes and tarts, each more succulent than the last and presented in an original way. Innovative Waldo is always on the cutting edge and constantly researching. Note that the pastries are sold in small wooden containers to limit waste, and the receipt is sent by e-mail. An address that really has it all!

This bakery, with its modern design and clean lines, sells excellent bread in Amsterdam. In addition to Poilâne-style creations and baguettes with a distinctly French flavor, Vlaamsche Broodhuys sells sandwiches, fresh fruit juices, as well as artisanal cheeses, yogurts, tapenades, quiches and jams made from organic produce, to take away or enjoy on the premises. The pastries are also worth a visit! A great address with several branches in the city, worth discovering.

An excellent patisserie with sweet and savory cakes and delicacies to enjoy on the terrace for tea time. Chocolates to take away too. This address is a very Dutch concoction, with a fairly classic decor featuring stained glass windows and traditional details, and lots of wood throughout. The tarts are works of art in their own right, and at Saint-Nicolas time, from mid-November onwards, the colorful chocolates are as much a feast for the eyes as for the taste buds. A fine address also to be found in Jordaan on Rozengracht.
